Fabric that is produced by bonding or interlocking fibers via a mechanical, chemical, thermal, or solvent means
nonwoven fabrics
A web of fibers is the result of which grouping of fabric
nonwoven
most identifiable nonwoven (1950s)
handi-wipes
4 fibers used in nonwovens
Olefin, polyester, rayon, & polypropylene.

all thermoplastic & all manufactured
Classification of fiber:
Fast production

Versatile

Low cost
Nonwoven
Two categories of nonwovens
Durable & Disposable
3 methods to manufacturing Nonwovens
Drylaid
Wetlaid
Spulaid
Most widely method used to manufacture a nonwoven
drylaid
Least used method to manufacture a nonwoven
wetlaid
when the material structure is formed by the blowing thermoplastic fibers onto a collection surface as the fibers are being extruded.
spulaid
First nonwoven

Largest volume of nonwovens are made using this method

1940s

extensively used in disposable items
carded-web nonwovens
Filament fibers spunlaid into a web

fibers interlock using thermal entanglement or adhesive bonding

very strong nonwoven

wide variety of weights, degree of softness and drape

Tyvek example
Spunbonded nonwoven
formed by wetlaid staple fibers using a high pressure method

fibers knot and curl around each other

no binding is used yielding an end product that is soft, bulky, and drapeable

used in robes, mattress pads, quilting, mops, wipes
spunlaced nonwoven
spunlaid micro denier sized fiament fibers that break into staple fibers

Good Insulators

Low fiber strength and low abrasion resistance

Thinsulate (example)
Melt-blown nonwovens
Also known as mechanical felt or needle punched felt

made from any staple fiber

Fibers are drylaid and entangled to form a web

web then passes through barbed or hooked needles which further entangles the web

used for rugs, blankets, and acoustical insulation
Needle punched nonwovens
End product may be wet, dry, or coated

Fibers used: rayon, polyester, polypropylene

products=swiffer pads, dusting cloths, clorox disenfecting wipes, stridex facial pads
nonwoven wipes
Oldest known textile

can be shaped in any direction

low drapability, resiliency, strength

made from 50%-100% wool

fibers arranged in layers of thin webs
felt
Layered material in which the face or shell of a fabric is joined to a backing of tricot to produce a more heavier weight fabric
Bonded materials
This process is fast and economical
bonding process
The two methods of bonding
Wet adhesive
foam flame bonding
Made by incorporating air into elastic like substance

most commonly from rubber and polyurethane

lofty springy bulky material, too weak to be used without backing or covering
foam bonding
face or shell of material is layered with a foam or nonwoven material then a backing to perform a sandwhich effect

primarily intended for clothing insulation
laminated material
Consists of an insulating filler secured between two layers of fabric

held together by sewing or bonding
quilted material
Needles and threads are used to sew or stitch yarns and fibers together into a fabric by creating a web

Malimo fabrics
Stitch bonding
Films, laces, Embroidery, and Tufted Fabrics are all fabrics made from __________________
Solutions
Used for imitation leather
Films
When pattern is drawn on paper and pins are inserted at various points

yarns on bobbins are plaited around the pins
bobbin or pillow lace
Done by hand with a crochet needle

Brought to America by Irish immigrants
Crocheted lace
Handmade lace with loops of woven tape caught together in patterns
Battenburg Lace
Made with a small shuttle and creates a small tight design
Tatted Lace
Low quality made lace
Handmade lace
How most lace today is made
Machine made
Machine that produces the finest and most intricate lace
Leavers machine
very expensive form of machine made lace
leavers lace
Machine that produces heavier and rougher textured lace
Nottingham Machine
Art of creating and producing a raised design on woven fabrics, paper, plastic, and rarely on knits
embroidery
All embroidery in US is done on what machine
Schiffili
Embroidery is usually done on what kind of fabrics
lightweight
(batiste and lawn)
Type of pile fabric

Performed by inserting extra yarns into an already woven fabric

May be cut or looped
Tufted Fabrics
Inexpensive and fast method of making pile structures
tufting
Done by using a series of needles, each carrying yarn, piercing the fabric a specified length, inserting the yarn
Tufted fabrics
